Comprehensive Dentistry

WEBVTT 00:00:06.586 --> 00:00:10.300 The name of our practice is Rota Advanced Dental Care. 00:00:11.386 --> 00:00:16.114 The reason I named it that is because we do a lot of procedures here 00:00:16.115 --> 00:00:18.786 that aren't done in other offices. 00:00:18.787 --> 00:00:23.057 Things like implants, root canals, bone grafting, 00:00:23.400 --> 00:00:26.543 we treat sleep apnea, TMJ problems. 00:00:26.729 --> 00:00:30.386 We do a comprehensive evaluation of our patients when we see them. 00:00:31.500 --> 00:00:37.480 Some of the things that we identify may not be dental problems. 00:00:37.481 --> 00:00:39.949 They may be more of a systemic problem 00:00:39.950 --> 00:00:44.714 that are showing signs in their oral cavities. 00:00:45.814 --> 00:00:48.493 Their oral health is very important 00:00:48.494 --> 00:00:51.686 because one of the things that happened during COVID 00:00:51.687 --> 00:00:55.485 is that patients didn't come to their dentists or their doctors 00:00:55.685 --> 00:00:57.229 unless they absolutely had to. 00:00:58.714 --> 00:01:02.529 We saw a lot of patients that didn't come in for their routine cleanings. 00:01:02.800 --> 00:01:09.360 When I evaluate a patient, I'm basically an engineer. 00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:15.280 I'm looking at how to make things work better for the patient functionally. 00:01:15.310 --> 00:01:18.871 I know that form follows function. 00:01:19.240 --> 00:01:23.114 If I design a case for a patient, if I design a smile for the patient, 00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:26.559 I'm always designing the function for that patient 00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:29.229 because I know if I create good function 00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:32.471 so that the patient can chew, they can smile, they can talk well, 00:01:32.607 --> 00:01:34.829 then they're going to have a beautiful smile. 00:01:36.086 --> 00:01:38.343 That's a big part of what we're all about.
